About
Awesome Hanoi Hostel
Awesome Hanoi Hostel sits on Pho Ma May, right in the thick of the Old Quarter. It's a 350-metre stroll to the Hanoi Ceramic Mosaic Mural, and the area is packed with restaurants, shops, and street life. The hostel has a shared lounge with billiards, a coffee shop, and a bar, so there's plenty of social space. A lift, 24-hour reception, and currency exchange make the practical side easy.
Rooms range from female-only and mixed dorms to a Deluxe Double with courtyard view. All come with air conditioning, and the en-suite bathrooms include showers. Free breakfast is served, and there's a shared kitchen if you want to cook. Massages, karaoke, and a sun terrace add to the mix, while the staff get consistently praised for their helpfulness.

Worth weighing
4 to weigh- No on-site parking — There's no parking listed, so you'll likely need to rely on taxis or public transport — common in the Old Quarter.
- Comfort scores slightly lower — Guest comfort rating is 7.9, the lowest category — a sign that beds or noise might not suit everyone.
- Check-in window ends at 23:30 — If you arrive late, you'll need to plan around the 14:00–23:30 check-in window or arrange a late arrival in advance.
- No pets allowed — The hostel has a strict no-pets policy, so leave furry friends at home.
